Useful when upgrading engine power or turbo boost or it can even be used as a high quality standard replacement.
It has a flow rate of 255 Litres per Hour.

I have an uprated one on mine works much better but remember get the connectors soldered on not crimped on with metal connectors as the petrol reacts with metal and ruins the wiring and beleive me the problems ive had because of this.

the only problems petrol can cuase wioth a crimped connectors is drying it out, but the fact its crimed tight wont make a difference unless it was crimped right first time round

I know coz the auto electrician told me the reason the wires were ruined is because the metal connectors reacted with the petrol and made the wires useless and the pump failed and cost me a lot fo money to put right.

well i think he rob you mate if you paid him to put it right.
if a crimped connection fails when its in pertol you would think a spade connect wouldnt stand a chance but thats what ford fit and they dont fail due to petrol.

maybe the crimp used wasnt crimped right or it was some cheap nasty crimp???

it shouldn't of failed, so a bit of a strange one there

Yeh it wasnt just the money that pixxed me off its breaking down 60 miles away and waiting for the AA, the connector they used was a sort or metal tunnel in a rubber sheath, it just ruined the wire
